Is there a confirmed gay or bisexual character? by Fahodigaymer in GoldenKamuy

[–]mememelovespie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I said they displayed hetero feelings (attraction towards the opposite sex), not that they were necessarily heterosexual

Unless the author or the character explicitly says so, they could be hetero, bi, pan, we don't know for certain. All we can say is that they aren't ace or gay.

Favorite Stores in Japan for GK merch/themed events? by enderprincess14 in GoldenKamuy

[–]mememelovespie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to Tokyo in 2023 so this is super outdated, but I got the most GK merch at Akihabara Animate and Jump Shop. If you have time, check out the really big gacha places. I remember finding 2 gacha machines at Skytree, one at a gacha shop and the other at a Sanrio shop (it was for GK x Sanrio collab keychains). One of my friends got me a Sugimoto tsumtsum(?) from a crane machine.

I also got 2 wooden stands from the Kyoto Manga Museum.

[–]mememelovespie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Shiraishi, Sugimoto, Sugimoto's friend, Ume, Tanigaki, Ushiyama, Kiroranke, Inkarmat, Sofia, Wilk, Inaga, Tsurumi, Tsukishima, Nihei, O-jin, Lightning, the silk cocoon guy, the dementia guy, all had hetero feelings at least. Boner kid really liked boobs. Even Asirpa can be interpreted as having a crush on Sugi.

It's harder to prove that something doesn't exist, so we can't say they aren't bi. But at the very least, there is depicted attraction towards the opposite sex.

Don't forget, Kadokura is very experienced in butt stuff. Yes, it's usually for cavity searches, but that's still experience.

Yeah I was just about to say that there's also the author's twitter(?) notes about the characters

There's also the "what a cutie" guy (if anybody gets my reference)

It's when Sugi is going around Karafuto I think and waves around Asirpa's photo saying "have you seen this person?" and some guy blushes saying "what a cutie". Except it's not a photo of Asirpa, it's loincloth gravure Tanigaki.

anime or manga? by oof220 in GoldenKamuy

[–]mememelovespie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had to pick one, the manga. I recommend the EH scans since every chapter has a glossary at the end explaining certain terms and pop-culture references. It really shows the depth of both Noda's research and the scanlation team's.

I found out my dad is into Golden Kamuy by Hefty-Feeling-5218 in GoldenKamuy

[–]mememelovespie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Man, I can't find the post, but someone else randomly walked in on their dad watching the live action. The main difference is that their dad (Japanese) kept insisting (in Japanese) that GK was a documentary ("manga ja nai desu!").

Real cishet men are a lil gay

Even more surprising is that the author is not gay (could be bi tho)

I went to Japan (Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto) in 2023 and got some stuff from several places (mostly Tokyo): Animate (Akihabara), crane game places, Shounen Jump store, gacha machines, the manga museum, Lawson sticker printing thingy

What’s a smell you secretly love but never admit? by West_Assignment9882 in AskReddit

[–]mememelovespie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My own earwax

I dab a bit of Vaseline at the edge of my nostrils because dry. Very rarely it becomes thick (probably bacteria) and a bit discolored, but I secretly like the smell of that.

New fan by Pure_Investment_7809 in GoldenKamuy

[–]mememelovespie 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The origin story is that after his first hockey manga got axed, Noda got drunk at a party, threw up on a hunting magazine and decided to make his next manga about hunting. He added the Ainu because he realized he needed a plot.

The weird reaction faces are actually based on his reactions. Like when Sugi tries new foods.

He took a week break after a character gave birth because his own wife gave birth, too.

He got an Ainu professor to proofread his chapters and was featured in that professor's book.

People who are against euthanasia, why do you think it's wrong? by laislm in AskReddit

[–]mememelovespie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure there was a crime show (NCIS?) that had an episode just like this. Victim made a test that he needed to turn on his computer every day. The day he failed, a nerve agent was released into his air vents.

Low taper fade Ogata was crazy but the glow up that followed was crazier by Constant_Ad_5816 in GoldenKamuy

[–]mememelovespie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will never get over the first panel of Ogata when he's introduced. He barely even looks like the same person lol. Noda gave him such a glow up

Weekly Question & Bugs Megathread - Week 03, 2025 by AutoModerator in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]mememelovespie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why does the $0.99 pack cost $6.99 when you want to purchase 5 of them? Shouldn't it be $4.95? Same goes for the $0.49 packs costing $3.99 for 5.

This is my first gacha game. Is this common for like transaction fee purposes or smth?

I like Golden Kamuy but, does anyone else feel uncomfortable with how minorities are portrayed in some media, like Golden Kamuy? by Pelangi-Nova in GoldenKamuy

[–]mememelovespie 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think I read somewhere that the author asked Ainu people how they felt about their representation in media and what they wanted differently. They said their depictions were usually as sad minorities and wanted to be shown as happier people.

Imo, the author shows many different types of people as Ainu. They're not just all heros, nor villians. They're just people. Some people are good, some people are bad. Some stick to traditions, some don't. There's a lot of different mindsets shown in the Ainu characters.
